Just-in-Time Teaching.

Abstract: Hospital considerations/family-centered care • Allow child to make choices and assist with tasks as appropriate. • Create an age appropriate coping plan (level 9) with the patient and family. • Ask child for cooperation holding still during procedures. Praise child for cooperation and acknowledge the difficulty maintaining control during painful procedures. • Can become responsible and successful at managing their health, but should not be relied on exclusively. • Collaborate with the family to learn routines and comfort measures that work well at home. → Tools such as distraction, imagery, art, music, aroma, and massage can be helpful. → Advocate for adequate emotional and physical preparation before procedures. → Offer use of the treatment room in order to maintain safe havens (for example, the patient’s room and playrooms) whenever possible. • May become nervous about schoolwork or missing events at home. Encourage child to continue with school work as much as possible. Consider placing a school consult in EPIC if child is expected to be admitted for >3 days or has frequent hospitalizations/chronic condition.
